## 7. "Other" weapons:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Buy me!** - this is a 'loot box', not a weapon per se. Buying it draws one of the offensive or (rarely) defensive weapons and adds it to the player's arsenal. It is a lottery in which you can lose (if you draw a weapon cheaper than the **Buy Me!** price) but also gain. You can get a weapon otherwise not affordable at all!

|

The game has 8 difficulty levels of computer-controlled opponents. Or actually 7 different ones and one "surprise". Each has its own way of buying defensive and offensive weapons and a different method of target selection and targeting itself, as well as weapon selection. They are arranged in the list according to increasing "skills":
|
||||
|
||||
* **Moron** - the dumbest of opponents (which does not mean the safest). Shoots completely at random using only one weapon - **Baby Missile**. He doesn't buy anything and doesn't know how to use defensive weapons.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Shooter** - This opponent does not shoot blindly. He chooses one direction for himself. Based on his own position - he shoots in the direction from which there is more space assuming that this is where the other tanks are. He starts firing from a high angle and shot after shot changes this angle to a lower and lower angle trying to fire the entire area on the chosen side. He always fires with the best weapon he has (the highest on the list of weapons he has - that is, not necessarily the best). He does not use defensive weapons even though he buys them! At the beginning of the round, he makes 2 attempts to buy defensive weapons and 4 offensive weapons.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Poolshark** - When attacking, he sets the nearest tank as his target, then selects the angle of the shot, and tries to select its strength by drawing it from the selected range. He always shoots with the best weapon he has. He uses defensive weapons. With a probability of 1:3, he activates the best defensive weapon he owns (the highest on the list of weapons he owns - that is, not necessarily the best) before firing. If his energy level drops below 30 units - he uses **Battery** (of course, if he bought it before), if the energy drops below 5 and he has no **Battery** he surrenders - **White Flag**. At the beginning of the round he makes 3 attempts to buy defensive weapons and 8 offensive weapons.
|
||||
|
||||
** **Tosser** - When attacking, he acts exactly like **Poolshark** however, he may have a "better" weapon inventory due to a different purchase tactic. He always activates the best defensive weapon he has before shooting. And just like **Poolshark** he uses **Battery** and **White Flag**. At the beginning of the round, he assesses how much money he has and depending on that, he makes (money/2500) attempts to buy defensive weapons and then checks again how much money he has left and makes (money/1250) attempts to buy offensive weapons.
|
||||
|
||||
** **Chooser** - Takes as a target the weakest opponent (with the least amount of energy) and aims very precisely, but before the shot the energy of the shot is modified by the parameter of luck :) , that is, despite the precise aiming it does not always hit. He shoots with the best weapon he has unless low energy is required (the target is close). Then he changes his weapon to **Baby Missile** to avoid hitting himself. He always activates the best defensive weapon he has before shooting and, like **Poolshark**, uses **Battery** and **White Flag**. He purchases just like **Tosser**.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Spoiler** - He shoots exactly like **Chooser** except that he has more luck :) , which means that even if he doesn't hit the target of his choice, it can be a more precise shot than **Chooser**. He uses defensive weapons exactly like **Chooser**. At the beginning of the round, he assesses how much money he has and depending on that, he makes (money/2500) attempts to buy defensive weapons and then checks again how much money he has left and makes (money/160) attempts to buy offensive weapons. When buying defensive weapons, he buys only strong and precise weapons - that is, weapons that won't accidentally hurt him.
|
||||
|
||||
** **Cyborg** - Takes aim at the weakest opponent (with the least amount of energy) but prefers human-controlled opponents. Aims very accurately and in the vast majority of cases hits on the first shot. He fires the shot with the best weapon he has unless low energy is required (the target is close). Then he changes his weapon to **Baby Missile** to avoid hitting himself. He uses defensive weapons exactly like **Chooser**. He shops exactly like **Spoiler**.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Unknown** - Before firing each shot, he randomly chooses a course of action from **Poolshark** to **Cyborg** and applies his tactics. However, the tactics of weapon purchases are always identical to **Tosser**.
